WALT: To learn what is fair and what is equity.
Today we had a scenario where everyone had a "injury". Some were really bad ones and some were not bad at all. I had a bruised bottom. Some people had broken backs and some people had colds. We all went to "Nurse" Nick. (Mr Gray). He prescribed us with solutions to our injury. He gave all of us a band aid (plaster). He was being fair and equal by giving us the same prescription but he wasn't being equity by giving us what we need. So that was a great way to learn about equity and equality. The difference is that equality is giving everyone the same thing or prescription regardless of whether they needed the specific thing or prescription. But equity is giving someone a thing or prescription that they need even if it is different to other peoples thing or prescriptions.
What do you think equity and equality?
